Murrindindi Shire Council is offering a free desexing, microchipping, worming, vaccination and registration package for valid Pensioner Concession Card holders who care for any cat, whether owned or stray.
The Purrfect Care Program aims to reduce cat overpopulation and address the issue of feral cats by making desexing services free to pet owners who need it most.
“Feral cats threaten the survival of native wildlife in Murrindindi Shire and are a major cause of decline for many land-based endangered animals across the country, including the bilby, bandicoot and numbat,” said a Council representative.
Eligible Pensioner Concession Card holders are encouraged to submit an online application before December 6 at murrindindi.vic.gov.au/catcareprogram
